Whitmer said Wednesday that without the law, and the restrictions she has been able to impose as a result of the law, such as a face mask requirement and the closure or partial closure of certain businesses, Michigan "would look a heck of a lot more like Florida," which has been experiencing a recent surge in coronavirus cases and deaths.
"We're going to fight to continue these powers," both for now and for use by future governors, she said.
Of course this is assuming the legislative branch would've prevented every single action she's taken in the last 6 months. All we're asking for is representation, compromise, and a reasonable discussion.
On Monday, Unlock Michigan complained to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office about a Facebook post urging people to disrupt a signature gathering session in that county by signing false names, scribbling on the petitions, or running away with the clipboard.
"Whitmer backers appear to be the ones who have cornered the market on unscrupulous behavior," Wszolek said.
A lawsuit seeking to block the petition drive was dismissed Monday by the Michigan Court of Appeals

So good argument can be made all the tyranny she brought to bear had no affect whatsoever....
